Answer:

2.225\ kg of pears

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> kilograms of apples

y----> kilograms of pears

we know that

x+y=8.9 ----> equation A

x=(3/4)8.9=6.675\ kg

Substitute the value of x in the equation A

6.675+y=8.9

y=8.9-6.675

y=2.225\ kg

Answer: 2.225 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that:

- The total weight the farmer sold was 8.9 kilograms.

- 3/4 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears.

Therefore, to calculate the amount of kilograms of pears   she sold at the farmer's market (which you can call x), you need to apply the following proccedure.

Thefore, you obtain the following result:

x=8.9kg-(8.9kg*\frac{3}{4})\\x=2.225kg

the cost of 5 cans of dog food is $4.35. at this price how much do 11 cans of dog food cost explain your reasoning. ASAP
mestny [16]

Answer:

Cost of 11 cans of Dog food is $9.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 5 cans of dog food = $4.35

So to find out the cost of 11 cans of dog food at the same price, we need to calculate the price of 1 can of dog food.

<u>Calculation for finding out cost of 1 can of dog food</u>

The price $4.35 which is given is the price of 5 cans

So to find the cost of 1 can, we need to divide the given price by 5

5 Cans of dog food = $4.35

1 can of dog food = 4.35 ÷ 5

1 can of dog food = $0.87


<em><u>Now to find out the price of 11 cans, we will multiply the price of 1 can with 11</u></em>

Cost of 11 cans = 11 × $0.87

                          = $9.57

how do i write an equation of a quadratic formula when given the roots and y intercept? is there a formula i can plug the number
klio [65]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -3x^2 +3x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

For roots p and q, the equation can be written as ...

  y = a(x -p)(x -q)

The value of 'a' must be determined so that the product <em>apq</em> is equal to the y-intercept. One could say that the formula is ...

  y = (y-intercept)/(pq)·(x -p)(x -q)

For your given values of p = 2, q = -1, y-intercept = 6, this becomes ...

  y = 6/(2(-1))(x -2)(x +1)

  y = -3(x^2 -x -2) . . . . . simplifying a bit

  y = -3x^2 +3x +6

On a 10-item test, three students in Professor Hsin's advanced chemistry seminar received scores of 2, 5, and 8, respectively. F
Inessa [10]

Answer:

For this distribution of test scores, the standard deviation is equal to the square root of 9

D) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to know the standard deviation formula:

S=\sqrt{\frac{sum(x-Am)^2}{n-1} } (1)

Where:

S: Standard deviation

sum: Summation

x: Sample values

Am: Arithmetic mean

n:   Number of terms, in this case 3

Now, we need to know the arithmetic mean of the sample values: 2, 5 and 8

Am=\frac{2+5+8}{3} = 5

To know the standard deviation we need to have the summation of each term minus the arithmetic mean squared.

(x-Am)^2 of each term:

(2-5)^2=9\\(5-5)^2=0\\(8-5)^2=9

Now, we can find the standard deviation:

S=\sqrt{\frac{9+0+9}{3-1} } \\S=\sqrt{\frac{18}{2} } \\S=\sqrt{9}

The standard deviation is equal to the square root of 9
